Brian "Rudee" Schad - Former US Navy SEAL
Some how, some way, the war in Afghanistan has transformed to a UN agenda police action. Don't believe it?? Then how in the world does "rules of engagement" protect our nation's troops in a battle zone...especially when the USA was attached by "them"? This is asinine! What this clearly means is: American military members can only engage in combat when fired upon - to "defend" themselves. This gives the enemy comfort knowing there will be no element of surprised against them. BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!

The way this is worded is very crafty. American soldiers are being asked to fight with one hand tied behind their back...by a congress that is NOT part of the chain-of-command! Maybe Rep. Ron Paul clearly understands this and the establishment politicians do not. I would vote AGAINST it too!
